Watch Lana Del Rey sing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ with Jelly Roll at Hangout Festival
Lana Del Rey brought out Jelly Roll during her headline set at Hangout Festival last night for a version of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’.
The singer was headlining the first night of the festival at Gulf Shores, Alabama, and after singing alongside other guests Tommy Genesis, Benson Boone and Nessa Barrett, she opted to round out her 16-track set with a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic with Jelly Roll.
Watch footage of the performance below:
It is Lana’s second on-stage collaboration with a country star in recent weeks, after she sang a version of ‘Unchained Melody’ with Paul Cauthen at Stagecoach Festival in California in April.
Jelly Roll, meanwhile, recently joined forces with Limp Bizkit at Welcome To Rockville to perform a version of The Who’s ‘Behind Blue Eyes’.
Del Rey recently headlined both weekends of Coachella 2024, and was joined by guests Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, Jack Antonoff and Camila Cabello.
On weekend one, Del Rey brought out Eilish to perform a duet of ‘Video Games’ and ‘Ocean Eyes’, as well as Batiste to perform ‘Candy Necklace’, and Antonoff to play piano for ‘Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have – But I Have It’. For weekend two, she turned to Cabello to perform the latter’s ‘I Luv It’.
She subsequently revealed that she had only recovered from laryngitis “a few hours” before taking the stage for the first weekend, while also hitting out at her former tour manager, who she said had “quit for no reason” just over a month before the set.
In a four-star review of the weekend one set, NME wrote: “Some festival-goers and critics have pointed to Del Rey as an “odd” choice of headliner – someone not exactly known for putting in energetic, flashy performances. Tonight, unswayed by those opinions, she sticks to what is true to her and instead focuses on something artful rather than gimmicky.”
Her second set, which ran 13 minutes over its allotted time, is reportedly set to cost the festival a fine of around $28,000 (£22,585).
Del Rey is set to be one of the headliners at Reading & Leeds 2024, alongside Liam Gallagher, Blink-182, Fred Again.., Gerry Cinnamon and Catfish & The Bottlemen. The festivals take place from August 21-25 and tickets are on sale now for both locations; purchase here (for Reading) and here (for Leeds). She is also playing her first ever US stadium headline show in Boston on June 20.
